    you can leave outthe “NR” part, it just changes NR to Nr. The para style to be checked is AM_NL or AM_FR. Maybe that will help you getting started.

    I think a script can help you. I just have part of the script by hand, but I’m sure someone on the forum can do more with it.
    Basically, it searches in a txt-file for words, and when a para style is applied to the sentences where the word is found it applies the character style “vet”.
    here’s the function

    //find and replace
    function zoek_en_vervang() {

    var aantal_zoek_strings = zoek_lijst.length;

    for (j=0; j<aantal_zoek_strings; j++) {

    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = NothingEnum.nothing;

    if (zoek_lijst[j] == “NR1”) {
    zoek_string = app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = zoek_lijst[j];
    vervang_string = app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = “Nr. 1”;
    vervang = app.activeDocument.changeText();
    } else {
    zoek_string = app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = zoek_lijst[j];
    app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item(“AM_FR”);
    vervang_string = app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = zoek_lijst[j];
    app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = “vet”;
    vervang = app.activeDocument.changeText();

    app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item(“AM_NL”);
    vervang = app.activeDocument.changeText();
    }

    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = NothingEnum.nothing;

    }

    }

    Hope someone else can help you further. He has to tell the script where to find the txt-file and insert the function.

    What I think is happening is that the fact of entering “Current page number” on a master page or on another page still reflects the location of the page in the file. I did see it too, not when I opened your file, but when I moved page 4 to 3. Your screenshot is correct. Try putting something else on page 4 and you’ll see that what you entered after you move the page will be on the new page 3.
    Your screenshot shows us: page 4 is before page 3, but the “Current page number”=3, because it is the third page in your document.
    Current page number is like a pointer. Even if you unlink it from the master page, it still is a special char. Copy it again to the master page and it will be shown as “A” and not as the exact “page number”.

    @nicole: The following address(es) failed: wordpress@indesignsecrets.com.

    Can you try sending the pdf to tom.vene@livrospraja.com.br only?

    I tried the tom.vene mail, and no problem for me. Maybe the wordpress is the problem here.

    Just create a textbox as wide as the one below. Type the text you need. Make the text color white. Select the textbox with the black arrow and give it a black fill. Position the as needed.

    Try this one: go to the windows explorer. Right click on a indesign file, this gives you the option “open with”. Click on the bottom option (default program …). This should open a panel with some programs … search for the Indesign.exe program and click on it, make sure you selected “always use this program to open…”. If all went OK, this should solve the problem.

    Are the page numbers on the master pages? Dotted lines around them on the normal pages? If so, just change the font for the page numbers on the Master Pages.

    Thnkx. I knew this one, but you cannot change anything in the second case. We had to add something to almost every “$x”.
    By regrouping we ended up with a $7.

    You could try it in the “findandchangebyList” script. Just enter the glyghs you want to replace, and run the script.
    I’ve no time to test it, but I think it will work after some “try and error” issues.

    Isn’t colour bridge used for converting pantone to cmyk values? If you select a colour with bridge, it’s cmyk. Selceting a pantone colour in pantone coated, it stays “pantone”.

    First: Open Indesign, but do not open any document. Edit the “basic” para style (the only one available) and look for the spacing before or after. Be sure this is set to zero. Save the style. When you open a new doc, the para style should be oke again.
    Second: If you didn’t create styles, all text is put in the same “basic” para style, so in your case with a “space after”.
    When you want only the title to be followed by a space, create a new style, make the space after you want, save the style and apply it to all the titles you want. All the other text will stay in the “basic” style.

    Did you create a para style for the title? If you did, and then based the other para styles on the first one, all is adapted with the first para style as “master”. If I get it right, it seems as if all the text is set up with one para style.
